The contract involves the rehabilitation and resurfacing of a 7.03-mile roadway in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, under the auspices of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). The work includes CMRB application, asphalt surface course installation in two distinct half-width operations to maintain continuous traffic, guardrail removal and replacement, borrow excavation to align shoulder grades within two inches of the final pavement edge, and traffic signal detection device upgrades such as inductive loops, video systems, or wireless loops. All construction must adhere strictly to the SCDOT Specifications for Highway Construction (2025 Edition), the Construction Manual (2004 Edition and revisions), Supplemental Specifications, Supplemental Technical Specifications, Special Provisions, and the latest FHWA MUTCD for traffic control. Performance is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2027, with the place of performance entirely within Spartanburg County. Bidding is restricted to prequalified prime contractors submitting electronic proposals exclusively through the Bid Express portal, with no acceptance of paper bids or hard copy submissions. A five percent electronic bid bond on Department Form 674 is mandatory, and successful bidders must provide both a performance and payment bond each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount. Contractors must maintain active registration in SAM.gov with no exclusions, certify compliance with South Carolina laws regarding unauthorized aliens and drug-free workplaces, and affirm they are not listed on the Iran Divestment Act List. Cybersecurity requirements mandate use of the NIST RMF or comparable frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or GDPR, with third-party verification available upon request. Contractors may require access to SCDOT networks and must acknowledge DD37 policy requirements. Non-compliance with asphalt placement timelines—specifically beginning subsequent lifts within seven days of CMRB completion—triggers daily liquidated damages ranging from $500 to $2,500 based on average daily traffic volume. Unauthorized work suspension incurs $500 per calendar day penalties. Specialized items such as pavement markings, guardrail, milling, asphalt, landscaping, and signalization are defined as specialty items if they represent less than 30 percent of contract value. All proposals must be submitted by August 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with public opening at SCDOT Headquarters in Columbia. Inquiries must be submitted by noon on July 29,
